Can post surgical issues from an appendectomy occur a decade after the surgery? I had my appendix out when I was 16. I'm 27 now and for the past few month had weird feelings in that area. At first, it was almost like a rubbing sensation inside. Then that sensation would go away and I'd just have a dull discomfort originating from my once-appendix area. Xray and ultrasound tests came back negative and I've been trying to get to a surgeon to see if it's a scar tissue issue. But can that really be the issue if the surgery was over ten years ago?! I'm posting this because maybe someone had a similar experience and can shed some light.
